Ah! Can’t wait to see more dates from these guys! They play an absolutely amazing show!
Straight pimpin.
Pantera? 
Puddle of mud? 
Who goes all the way up to Seattle and then doesn’t make the two hour drive to Vancouver. I mean the Olympics are on right then…they don’t want to be a part of that action? Not like I’d really travel all the way to Vancouver for an MMW show, but I’d love to tell my sister to go check them out.

MMW Design Contest
Calling all MMW Fans.
We are looking for a new logo for MMW’s record label, Indirecto Records.
The designer of the selected logo will win a signed copy of Radiolarians: The Evolutionary Set, a pair of tickets to an upcoming MMW show, a chance to sit in during an MMW soundcheck AND a Meet & Greet with the band.
Hmm. Some of those solo shows may be reasonable for me. I did not get either of these newsletters and I don’t know why.
Yea I am super interested in both the Medeski show in NYC and the Billy Martin gig in Brooklyn. Would love to see Billy Martin with Marco Benevento, but those locales are a bit far for me xD
Medeski in Russia
3/11/10: St. Petersburg, RUSSIA - Music Hall Theater **
3/12/10: Moscow, RUSSIA - DK Gorbunova **
3/14/10: Kiev, UKRAINE - Central Dom Oficerov **
**with Fedorov, Volkov, Ribot and Smith
These shows sound pretty fun to me, both music and locale-wise. A little out of the way though.
Last nights LA show was dope, had a great time with the lady. MMW ROCK!
^Glad to hear you had a good time!
Definitely going to make it to NYC to see Medeski. That’ll be a nice treat. The Billy show in Brooklyn also sounds interesting. Great minds, PYK. 
^ Getting ready for illyB … which other OKPers will be there … Marco??
super excited

^ Jay, you beat me to it!
We should meet up at a MMW gig one of these days … oh but why do they not play in NYC more often?!
lets plan a Istanbul!
You have no room to complain about not getting enough NYC-area shows! Try living in Michigan, THEN you can talk about how rarely you get to see these guys. 
But yeah, maybe someday we’ll catch the trio together, and I can hound you in person about how integral Chris Wood is to their sound. 
You certainly can try, Justin… not sure how successful you will be … I would love to hear a concert with just Billy Martin and John Medeski.
6.14 Norfolk, Va. I’m seeing MMW!
finally…I don’t think I’ve ever seen them indoors before…
the bill also says “pre-phish party with a special guest”
Just looked at this email a little while ago. Looks like my best and only bet on seeing them this summer is Ottawa Jazz Festival. Could be tight time-wise, but well worth it.
